Berlin is Germany's political, cultural and historical centre. It has once again become a top ten destination amongst world metropolises. Berlin will treat you to a living history, art treasures from all eras, trendy shopping and a wild club culture. And because the German capital sits in the heart of Europe, it's an easy city to access - regardless of if you're coming from Wladiwostok or Wanne-Eickel. Whether you're taking a plane, train, vehicle, bus or boat, there's always a way to get to Berlin.
Flying to Berlin is often not only the fastest, but also the cheapest way of travelling. You can also enjoy the exceptional view across the city from the sky. One of the first things you are likely to spot is the TV tower welcoming the air passengers from far away. Both Tegel and Schönefeld Airport can be easily and quickly reached from the city's centre, and are optimally integrated into the airlines' national and international route network.
The three largest airlines at Berlin's airports are airberlin, easyJet and the Deutsche Lufthansa.
Berlin offers two airports which both are accessable with the public transport system very easly.
Schönefeld is situated in the southeast of Berlin, approximately 18 km from the city centre./p>
The airport is connected with the city centre by the S-Bahn (suburban train) lines S49 and S9 as well as with several AirportExpress trains that run from/to Hauptbahnhof, Zoologischer Garten, Friedrichstraße, Alexanderplatz and Ostbahnhof every half an hour. S45 and S9 need about 45 minutes for the trip to the centre, the trains take 15 min (from/to Ostbahnhof) to 30 min (from/to Hauptbahnhof), 35 min(from/to Zoologischer Garten).
All trains and the S-Bahn stop at the station "Flughafen Berlin-Schönefeld".
Tegel is situated in the northwest of Berlin, approximately 8 km from the city-centre. You can reach the western city centre from the airport conveniently within 15 minutes.
Apart from the buses 109 and 128 the JetExpressBus TXL connects the airport to the main train station Hauptbahnhof. The Expressbus X9 leaves from the train station Zoologischer Garten. The Expressbuses stop only at the main bus stops and are therefore a quick connection.
The bus or undergound ticket costs € 2.40 (fair zone AB), or € 3.10 for trips to the surroundings (fair zone ABC).
